Watch: Dem Congressman Called Him a Racist – But There’s One HUGE Problem

Far-left “progressive” Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) tried to falsely portray former Alabama governor George Wallace, a leading symbol for segregation in the 1960s, as a Republican.

Ellison was trying to draw comparisons between Donald Trump’s campaign and that of Wallace.

“We do have the worst Republican nominee since George Wallace,” Ellison proclaimed.

But there’s a HUGE problem with that.

Except Wallace was a Democrat governor who sought the Democrat presidential nomination in 1964, 1972, and 1976. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1948 and addressed the DNCin 1972.

He once famously declared at his inaugural address as Democratgovernor of Alabama, that he wanted “Segregation now. Segregation tomorrow. And segregation forever.”

None of which matters because, as you know, the Democrats have spent decades rewriting history on their party’s own racist roots.

After making such a blatantly false claim, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) put Ellison in his place.
